advice on a 3 wood

[fendermallot]

So my local golf shop has a huge summer sale, where the majority of their "last years" stock is 30-50% off. On top of that I have a $5 off coupon for the sale.

What I'm wondering, is does anyone have, or can they provide a short list of good woods I might look at? I saw TM, Nike, Ping, Cleveland and a few more I can't remember. I'm just trying to find out what will be best for me. The sale clubs are unavailable to be hit before purchase, so that's why I'm asking the experts :)

Thanks guys

the cobra speed ld is a great wood. its very long off the deck and the tee. it has a very large head for a 3 wood and the face is also really big. very easy to hit and forgiving.

I really like the Mizuno 3 wood I have. The F50 and F60 are very nice. But I like the Nikes too.

What he said.. I have the King Cobra LD 3 Wood with a regular flex and I love hitting it.

Another vote for the Adams BUL. Also the BTY though its a little smaller head.

If available I have to put out there that the TM Burner woods are great. I have the '07 3 wood and the club is a breeze to hit off the deck. I also have last year's burner 5 wood, which is one of my money clubs. Is there any other store that you can go to that has the same clubs that will at least let you swing them and hit some balls in-store?

+1 on the Cobra, easiest to hit off the turf 3 wood i have used.

A lot of guys I play with are really loving the '07 model Taylor Made Burners that are being sold new for ~$125 around here.

My father added that the wood back in April. His first round with it found him using it on the first hole of his home course. His drive was not great and he had 225 or so to the hole. He nutted the new TM Burner 3 wood and wound up making birdie on the hole.

After the round was over, he drove 45 mins to the golf shop to also buy the '07 driver to match.

Dad is 61 years old and playing some great golf. He stomped me by 11 strokes on our round last week. I can't get over how well he hits these two clubs. The shafts really aid his swingspeed and the head design get the ball launched very nicely. I can't say enough great about them.

I also have the '07 Burners and find them very easy to hit, I would highly recommend them.

Thanks guys. I'm going to Golf Galaxy first to check out their used selection, then to my golf course to see their "new" that are on sale. We'll see what I can find :)

ok, I picked up a used r7 st 3 wood at Golf Galaxy and was wondering about the weights. How are these adjusted? I realize you need a special wrench, but I was able to remove/turn the weights with a star bit I have in my screwdriver kit. One weight completely comes out, the other's center piece just turns.

Any help is appreciated as the only thing that would show up on google when I queryed it, was sites that sold the club, not any "how to's".

Thanks

The clubs come with a torque adjusted wrench. You remove the weights and install them where you desire and tighten until the wrench clicks...indicating you've torqued it properly.

I'd be careful using anything other than what they recomend. You can strip 'em out easily.

There are at least two different wrenches for TM sticks.....one is the black and grey model one is white and black. They have different torque settings.

Maybe you can find out more on their website and then ebay yourself the correct wrench.
